I will take time out for myself. Exercise, meditation, socialising, reading, whatever makes my heart sing and my soul happy.

I will give out love more freely. My children do not have to ‘behave’ to still be loved. I will offer a hug, even when they have slipped up.

I will BREATHE more often. I will not let frustration get me worked up nearly as often. I will own my reactions to my children’s behaviour.

I will increase the variety of foods I offer my children, by thinking outside the box.

I will visit a health food store, even just to take in what there is to offer.

I will try natural sunscreen, to avoid the chemical onslaught of the ‘toxic’ ones.

I will buy some Epsom salts, for a relaxing, detoxing bath for the whole family (not all at once!).

I will consider an elimination test if I suspect a food is not so good for myself or my little ones.

I will practice mindfulness and show my children I do not need to make judgements, but can understand where people are coming from. Everyone is fighting their own battle…

I will use my intuition, my ‘gut feeling’, to help navigate tricky parenting decisions.

I will introduce probiotics to my family or look into eliminating candida and parasites.

I will find gratitude every day. And model this to my family. There will be less need for materialism. More time for the ‘little things’.

I will model naming my feelings in front of my children. And encourage them to do the same.

I will make my first chicken broth..and then keep it coming, in the winter!

I will build my family’s immunity through extra greens, broth, probiotics, alkalising foods such as lemon and reducing sugar.

I will nurture my relationship with my partner…and take time out from the kids.

I will keep following The Healthy Caterpillar for my ideas and inspiration on the above!

What will your goal be? I’d looooove to know. Maybe I could help you? The more people I can inspire and help this year, the happier I will be too. So help me to help you…

Leave a comment or send a message and I’ll aim to write some ideas to help you achieve your 2015 goals!

PS – I’ve been offline for a bit, changing I Raise My Kids over to The Healthy Caterpillar. At this point, you can find me on Facebook at The Healthy Caterpillar. I am still working towards a blog and website, whilst I study to become a family health coach. Thanks for your patience 🙂 Heidi
